impur Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I ordered a couple emerald crabs from ccritters.com as well as some other stuff. Well she sent me an extra crab, and its a gorilla crab. Its currently in my sump so if someone wants to come by and grab him he's all yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonH Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Interesting choice of freebees - if you hadn't know better and tossed that into your tank... Did she toss in some aipastia or majanoes, too? Maybe a euclid worm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I have one last one I'm trying to catch or kill - it is my 5th in my tank. This is the gorilla crab from hell - fast and leary. Just make sure he stays in your sump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold B Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I've been trying to catch a few "coral scrapers" myself. I've got two in the sump and one sneaky one still in the tank. Is the cup or soda/water bottle with the top cut off,with bait in it leaning up against the rock so they go in but can't climb out the best way to catch'em?

Michael7979 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Also know as teddy bear crabs too. Yeah they make good food for triggers and such but can live happily in a sump forever. I had 2 in my sump for 1.5 yrs before someone else wanted them and talked me into letting them have them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I was wondering if they would be able to survive in a sump, they must be able to find food somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayTheSavageFraser Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I want all the crabs I can get! If you don't mind them being food for my mantis shrimp? Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Interesting choice of freebies... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Yah it was an interesting choice. In addition to the gorilla crab, i did not get the 5 keyhole limpets i ordered, and only got 3 of the 4 nudibranchs i ordered. Jon took the crab home and it didn't even make it a quarter of the way down the tank before it became dinner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
